Qualitative research explores AI's role in enhancing recreational engagement, suggesting implications for user experience.
This study investigated the emerging role of artificial intelligence (AI) in recreational engagement through human-AI interaction. As digital technologies are increasingly integrated into daily life, AI-powered systems such as conversational agents like ChatGPT can provide new opportunities for planning, personalising, and enhancing recreational experiences. The research explored how AI tools can support creativity, provide personalised suggestions, facilitate access to different recreational options, and assist with scheduling and feedback mechanisms. Using a qualitative design, the study engaged AI-driven simulations and document analysis to examine practical use cases in recreational situations. The findings indicated the potential of AI to increase inclusivity, support decision-making, and enrich user experience in recreational settings. However, concerns regarding digital access, content reliability, and ethical use were equally observed. The study concluded by recommending the need for careful integration of AI tools with human supervision in order to mitigate the risks of contents reliability and ensure that recreational technologies enhance rather than replace the human essence of leisure and play
